4) Playing basketball with chickens will cost you roughly 100 pisos per.
5) The tagalog word for "love", mahal is the same as the word for "expensive".
6) Don't swim in the rivers.
7) If you think you should bribe or offer somebody something, you are probably correct.
8) A butterfly is not a pretty winged insect.
9) You should take full advantage of "cherry boy" staus and its associated discounts for as long as possible.
10) Trobicin cures a lot of ills, but not all of them.

I wish somebody had have told me all of that the first time I walked off base at NAS Cubi Point back in 1976 - I can still remember the sights, the sounds, and oh yeah, the smells, as I crossed Shit River into Olongapo City.
The 7th fleet was out, so there was like 5,000 hookers just waiting for me...
Suddenly in the mood for some lumpia and barbeque...
